THE TEAM NEWS
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons produced another strong performance as their attacking prowess came to the fore in a big win over Salford Red Devils last week which ensured the French outfit remained unbeaten to start the new campaign.
- It is four wins from four in all competitions for the Dragons and while this will be a real test for them, McNamara will be buoyed by the return of Michael McIlorum last week which should lead to him playing a greater part in this contest.
21-man squad: Baitieri, Bousquet, Da Costa, Davies, Dezaria, Drinkwater, Dudson, Garcia, Jullien, Kasiano, Laguerre, Langi, Maloney, McIlorum, McMeeken, Mourgue, Seguier, S. Tomkins, Whare, Whitley, Yaha
Unavailable: Israel Folau, Joel Tomkins, Mickael Goudemand

WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves played their part in a thrilling draw with Hull FC last week with neither side able to come away with the win after a tense 90 minutes in what was the first draw in the Golden Point era in Super League.
- It was a solid performance by Wire, particularly defensively, and they will need to back that up against a Dragons side that are averaging over 30 points per game in the league through three rounds.
21-man squad: Akauola, Ashton, Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Hill, Hughes, King, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Thewlis, Walker, Widdop, Wrench
Unavailable: Greg Inglis, Tom Lineham

THE PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons face a real test of their credentials as they welcome Warrington Wolves to the Stade Gilbert Brutus with the hosts looking to maintain their 100% start to the season. The French side have improved week on week so far and they ran in 42 points to comfortably see off Salford Red Devils last week. Warrington on the other hand had to settle for a point as they drew with Hull FC in an energy-sapping contest and now face a trip to the south of France on a relatively short turnaround. Wire showed some good signs defensively in last week’s contest but they are still yet to hit their straps with the ball and that should open the door for the home side to prevail in this one which would make it three wins in succession on home soil for the Dragons against the Wolves.
